I have two of the gas rings on the top of the stove that light well but go out as soon as the ignition control is released. Any suggestions for a fix?

Thanks John and Jean

Thermocouple

The fix as far as I know, and what we had to have done, the stove needs to be removed, dismantled by drilling out the rivets on the sides to be able to remove and access the thermocouple and replace.

I got to the removal stage and took the stove to a repair mob where they replaced all the thermocouples.

Swift also told me the problem could be the nut behind the knob ... Not being personal there John :-) to access that area is also very difficult without major dismantling.

Good Luck :-)

Gee thanks for that Mick - you have made my evening! :-) Might have to wait until we get back to civilisation. I am definitely the nut behind the knob! LOL

Thanks
